How to Choose a Career or Field Of Study

Choosing a career is an important decision It is no overstatement to say ldquoYour choice

will affect the rest of your liferdquo

What to study in college is also a serious decision because this will prepare you for a

career choosing the right college to study at is one of the first steps in the process of

planning for your future The other step that is significant is selecting your major and

whilst many students already have some idea what they want as a major before selecting

a college others are still not sure and end up waiting until the last moments to select a

field of study Here are several of the methods that students can use to help narrow

down their selections and find the major that is just right for them

Interests

Among the list of considerations

and probably most important is

your own personal interests

Perhaps you are the one who

likes science or mathematics

Alternatively perhaps you hate

numbers and love art The first

step that a student needs to do is

make a list of individual likes

and dislikes After this list it

should be easier for a student to narrow things to a selected area or areas of study

9


Some students will find out that this procedure still does not give a clear choice In

addition for others too many diverse areas of interest can be vastly dissimilar to each

other This may make the process of decision-making complex However without

limitless money and time the luxury of a double major option such as engineering and

fine arts will mean that a choice will have to be made eventually

For others the choice is easy as you are the ones that have had a dream or hobby from

the time you were in kindergarten - there is something that you have said or shown an

aptitude in since the beginning of your life

Other Factors

Usually skills and interests are the main reasons behind the selection of a specific career

path Often other factors can also lead you down a specific path though that path might

not necessarily be your favourite An example of this is if your family owns a business

Some students are daughters or sons of parents who are successful and own a business

or head a family-owned corporation The parents might want to keep this business in

the family ndash so a precise major will be expected of you Usually the field of study would

be business but dependent on the type of business it could be something else

Money Careers

Another prevalent but not really a good reason for choosing a specific career path is

money There are students who select a major based merely on the potential for future

earnings in a specific field

10


Business medical and law are generally considered to be the more lucrative fields this

will often entice students to select a field of study in one of these areas rather than

selecting a major such as liberal arts or some other field where earnings might or might

not be as high

But the choice will have to be made and this will determine for most individuals the

career they will have for the rest of their working years Many experts will advise that if

you are doing what you love to do - the money will come

11


Careers That Do Not Need College Education

There are many economists who will be the first to tell you that college education is the

best ticket to middle class that you will be able to find

Research Study

A recent study released outlines there are 29 million jobs that offer pay in the middle

class and do not require a bachelorrsquos degree Researchers were surprised in finding so

many job vacancies that pay between $35000 and $72000 but do not require college

education

One example is an individual who worked with an organisation referred to as lsquoSkills

USArsquo and learned how to coordinate events that involved thousands of students After

that this individual skipped college and went straight to work at Apple He now makes

between $40000 and $50000 a year

12


Stuck In a Career

You do have to make a decision on a career but you do not have to be restricted by those

decisions of a career ndash making you stick to them

Many say that there are no wrong or right career decisions What is most important is

ldquohaving a gordquo and ldquoexploringrdquo in the general area that you want to enter and through

gathering information contacts and experience then making a decision that is more

targeted Learning growing and adapting are more important than getting it right with

the first career decision

Doesnrsquot Need College

Learning and gaining qualifications are vital but there are a vast range of opportunities

for work that do not need a college education Apprenticeships self-employment

armed services and a range of other meaningful and challenging careers do not require a

college education

It takes many things to obtain a job that you want and that you will do well at

Qualifications are important but knowing individuals having communication skills

motivation personal attributes appropriate risk-taking problem solving and creativity

are vital qualifications for having a successful job

13


With College Education You Wonrsquot Have to Start at the

Bottom

Actually where you begin when you finish college will mostly depend on wherever the

employer wants you or considers is the best place for you to study their business

intricacies College education enlightens you with knowledge qualifications and

competencies in some instances it also provides relevant work experience

But in the work place there are many other skills that are needed before you can

command a top position salary For instance you might need in-depth understanding of

the business environment in which you are in have networks inside the broader

industry and proven leadership accountability or responsibility qualities and so on

These are the skills that are needed in management positions and which colleges cannot

teach you

Graduates cannot expect to get these types of job on day one ndash they have to be earned

proven through experience and results within the work place Even then often someone

without a degree but years

within the company might be

better qualified than you

So there are numerous

opportunities in career fields

that do not need college

education but many will need

some type of training or

certification to get started If

the idea of going to college is one

that does not appeal to you then look up some of the other career fields that match your

interests and make a decision from these

14


How to Get Skills for a Career without College Education

Establish a direction that you want to go in and set some true goals Without knowledge

or skills you will probably experience a lot of competition and possible hesitation from

potential employers Choose a field of industry with few entry level requirements that

match your interest and non-professional background For instance if you grow

flowers well applying for positions at a local florist or gardening centre might give you

good results

Where to Look

Use networks as much as possible Job hunters who are doing this for the first time

commonly find they are in solid competition with applicants with more experience It is

significant not to wait for one certain position during your employment search Look for

as many opportunities in as many places as possible careerjob websites lsquoHelp

Wantedrsquo signs community bulletin boards local newspapers or ask friends and family

for leads that might have some potential Often finding a job is not accomplished by

lsquowhat you knowrsquo but lsquowho you knowrsquo

15


Community Colleges

Community colleges are excellent venues to take a few classes in the field of study you

are interested in or might already have experience within These classes often look good

on a resume For example take classes to learn all you can about computers or if you

take great photos enrol on some photography classes and if you love to write join some

classes in journalism

Armed Services

Spend a few years in the armed services You will learn many skills that will help you get

enrolled in college when you get out Who knows you might have enough skills to start

your own business

Certification Programs

There are also numerous certification programs that can enhance your skills and

professional credentials without getting yourself enrolled in a full-time college education

program Many of these classes are available online These programs are for

accounting mental health professionals business management allied health

professionals justice studies etc - the list can go on and on

High School Vocational Programs

In the 1970rsquos the term ldquocareer

educationrdquo first came to be popular to

distinguish it from ldquovocational

educationrdquo

This was via its accent on general

employability and skills that are

16


flexible to many occupations while vocational education was mainly concerned with

occupational skill training for definite occupations

The purpose of career as well as technical education is to offer skills foundations that

enable high school graduates to find employment after high school

All across the United States there are career and technical education programs offered

in about 11000 secondary education or high schools several hundred high schools in

vocational-technical and about 1400 vocational-technical area centres Some public

middle schools normally begin offering some career and technical education courses

such as consumer and family sciences and technology education

About 9400 post-secondary institutions offers technical programs including

community colleges technical institutes and skill centres Once you successfully

complete education in some of these facilities you have the skills for many career paths

Value of College Education

Some individuals who have talents and the entrepreneur spirit can succeed with a

college education Two notable examples are Bill Gates Michael Dell and people with

talent in a particular area such as many pop entertainers If you feel that you can start

your own business and make money than by all means go for it but the problem is that

it is a very lsquohigh-riskhigh rewardrsquo game If your business fails then you could be

working at Sonic but college diminishes the risk of that happening

17


How to Build a Good Resume or CV

When should those looking for a job use a curriculum vitae usually referred to as a CV

rather than using a resume In the US a CV is mainly used when applying for research

scientific or academic positions It is mainly also used when applying for grants or

fellowships

A CV is longer and can be up to two or more pages with a more detailed synopsis of a

personrsquos background and skills

What to Send With a Resume

There are different parts to a resume that one needs to take into consideration when

trying to find a job To influence an employer you should have a cover letter a resume

and a list of references

Defining Your Objective

The objective needs to be one to two sentences which will be considered a lsquostatement of

purposersquo You are letting your employer know why you are interested in this job with

their company Your employer wants to know why yoursquore choosing their company and

also about your possible contribution

18


Education

Next is the part of your resume where you list what schools yoursquove been to and what

degrees if any yoursquove been granted from them starting with high school The next thing

you should write down is any vocational training or college education that you have

received You can also put any vocational training of a year in a trade that you are

already skilled in or that you enjoy doing

Military Service

Next is any military service ndash and military service that is honourable looks good to

possible employers When listing military service make certain to put the branch you

served in your job title and any merits you may have earned during training

National Service

National Service organisations such as AmeriCorps Peace Corps and City Year are all

volunteer services that place people in areas of the country (or world with the Peace

Corps) that are the most underprivileged Volunteers in these organisations serve

around one to two years

Employment

Employment is the most obvious part of your resume Here you need to list your most

recent forms of employment beginning with the job you currently have now If you have

never had a formal job thatrsquos OK too

19


In the absence of formal job experience you should put down any experience that you

may have where you have worked for someone lsquounder the table Mowing lawns

babysitting or running errands all count as job experience for applicants seeking a job

You should only list your last 3 recent posts

It doesnrsquot matter what the level of work experience is but you need to list it by putting

down your job title with a brief description of your most important tasks while at work

Employers often like to see two to four short sentences that designate your most

important duties

Miscellaneous

The last part is the section of the resume to put anything else you havenrsquot detailed but

which you think would make you a good asset to any company Anything like other skills

that you havenrsquot listed should be organised by subject and placed here This is the last

section of your resume as itrsquos typically viewed as the lsquocoup de gracirccersquo of the resume

It does take time to develop a CV or resume but once you have done it - it is completed

and does not have to be ever fully rewritten again

20


Where to Begin Looking For Job Openings

Everyone needs a job you have finished with school and now follows the next important

step - to begin looking for a job

Whilst many people will browse lsquoMonstercomrsquo and lsquoCareerBuildercomrsquo they often

forget the ever popular lsquoCraigslistrsquo Craigslist seems to be a strange place to look for jobs

but there are some really good full-time opportunities that end up on Craigslist

After you have created and sent your resume to Monstercom and CareerBuildercom

not forgetting to scan Craigslist the hard part begins Every industry has its go-to

starting point for job postings and you need to also check the ldquoCareersrdquo section of

different websites

College Office - Career Services

Because you are a recent graduate you need to use the benefit of one very exclusive

resource your college The top place to begin is your

alumni links through college offices as well as

career services

They will be the alumni office to hook you up with

other alums on parallel career paths it will also

have openings that are new and that could be

interesting

Professors

A lot of those people with cool jobs got them through

their professors who took an interest in their future Think about some professors with

whom you have developed special connections with and talk to them They might have

some good suggestions for you

21


Alumni Networks

People from a certain college like to help other alumni Networking with fellow alumni

is necessary for anyone on the hunt for a job Irrespective of what career resources you

end up using call your schoolrsquos career office before paying out any cash on any fees for

subscriptions that could pop up Most of the time alumni offices will have free

subscriptions for students and their alumni

Investment Consulting and Banking

If it is a position in the world of finance there are few options Many of the high-profile

investment firms and banks hire in cycles so unless it is early fall or late summer entry-

level openings do not exist That being said Goldman Sachs Citi and Morgan Stanley

always take online applications as do firms involved in consulting like Monitor Boston

Consulting Group Bain Inc Mercer Management Consulting and McKinsey It is more

proficient to apply to banks and consulting firms

through a Career Service during the hiring cycle

but it does not hurt to upload a resume CV and

cover letter As well use lsquoglocapcomrsquo which is a

specialist financial recruiting company

Although they take a portion from your salary at

least they will enable you to earn a salary When the consulting and banking cycle starts

up again apply through their website or through career services at your college Also

give anyone you know a call (alumni or other) Although they will not promise you a

job at the very least they probably could ensure your resume is read

22


New Media Advertising

Majors in Computer Science are not the only individuals checking for jobs in New

Media Start-ups are continuously on the lookout for researchers marketing directors

and content producers New Media Jobs are listed on Paid Content Ed2010 and

MediaBistro

PublishingJournalism

For careers in media or publishing check out journalism school listings MediaBistro

Gawker IwantMediarsquos site and even Variety which is also the best site of entertainment

jobs

Others

For paralegal spots go to ParalegalJobscom the paralegal forum at Indeedcom or

lsquoEmployment Spotrsquo For jobs in a lab go to laboratory positions at Indeedcom

eLabRatcom or jobs posted with medical schools at their affiliated university

So this is a survey of some of the best websites for job listings The best advice is to be

meticulous in checking these sites and follow-up in planned ways

23


How to Land the Interview You Want

In order to land the interview with the company that you want to engage with takes a

little work However several interview techniques can help land the interview

Resume and References

Firstly always make sure you have a well-written resume ndash every word is spelled

correctly and it shows exactly how your career has advanced and what skills you have

added to the skill set you already possessed You may also want to have someone you

are close to who works in the HR field to go over your resume and advise if they see

anything that takes away from the final resume copy

Also make certain that you have permission from everyone on your reference list to use

them as a reference and that their contact information is correct and up to date They

might even offer to write you a letter of recommendation that you can use together with

your list of references

Make certain this is the Company and

the Job

Next make certain that you have what they are

detailing in their job listing as the qualifications they

are looking for

If you meet all the qualifications do you want a position

with the duties that they are listing Then if it is a company that you donrsquot know much

about ensure you get educated about the company to make certain that this is a

company that you really are interested in working for

24


When all of these are good with you then go to the companyrsquos career website and fill out

their online application and any other paperwork that they are requesting Even if the

company does not require it (if they have some way to upload your resume) ndash then also

make sure to forward a copy to them After approximately a week call their Human

Resources department to see if they have started to set up interviews with the manager

that will be hiring

Networking

If you know anyone who works at that company it is time to network and call

individuals you know at the organisation or see if anyone that is an alumnus of the

college that you went to already works there Also check to see if someone that you

worked with at another company might be employed there This is a person who could

make sure that your resume gets read by the hiring manager If by some chance you

know the hiring manager give that person a call and let them know how interested you

are in this position and that you would really appreciate a chance for an interview

Why is the Interview So Important

You are probably wondering why anyone would go to that extreme to get an interview It

is because the job interview is the single most

important way of getting a job A job interview is

your chance to show your future employer that you

are quick smart funny communicate well and

that you are able to handle any stress that might

come with this position They want to be sure that

you are a person who is honest hardworking and is

going to be loyal to the company Believe it or not there are some people that will be

able to tell all those things by spending some time one-on-one with you

But if you never get an interview they will never know what a marvellous person you

are

25


Preparing for an Interview

Interview preparation is also an extremely important factor You just landed an

interview for a position that you are very interested in and you know that when you are

invited for an interview it is a fairly good indication that they are interested in bringing

you into their company The interview will give each of you the chance of a discussion

with enough material to decide if you represent a good lsquofitrsquo for each other

Goals of an Interview

This is the interview with the person or the people who will be managing you in the

future Therefore it is important that you are well prepared for this meeting Your goal

should be to show the employer that you not only have the background ability and

skills to do this job but you can also fit into the culture of the organisation successfully

It is also your chance to get information about the job the company and any future

career opportunity to make a decision if the position and work environment are correct

for you

Research

It is an advantage for you to carefully research the job and especially the company

There are many methods to do this You may call and ask for any printed materials from

the employer such as job descriptions and annual reports This is a suitable request so

donrsquot hesitate to make it

Use your local library and your college career centre assets These

days almost every company has a great website with a history of the

business The website might also have a section called ldquoAbout Usrdquo

and ldquoCareersrdquo which are excellent places to find information that

might be helpful to you Knowing about the job will also help you

prepare a list of your qualifications so that you may show point by

point that you are the very best candidate for a job post

26


Practice

Prepare a concise and clear answer to each of the questions that you can find in sections

on the internet Figure out the best answer to each of these questions and practice

answering questions with a friend in front of a mirror or your significant other Ask

anyone who helps you to give good constructive criticism on your style of speaking

mannerisms and general poise As you practice avoid phrases such as ldquoyou knowrdquo and

ldquolikerdquo Make certain you do not script all your answers so they sound as if you have used

rote-learning which can give the impression you are reading from learnt cue cards

Other Important Items

Be certain to have the correct time and location of the interview Be early because it

looks good and it also gives you time if you get lost Give yourself space to read over

your resume one more time and to catch your breath and then be ready for the

interview Once you are in the office treat everyone you meet with respect and be

pleasant to all those you come into contact with

Dress for Success

Dress professionally During the interview

process you will want to leave them with a great

first impression so it is vital to dress

appropriately Women should not wear too much

jewellery or make-up Men should wear suits that

are not too flashy as well as avoiding too much

cologne

27


What to Bring

Carry a portfolio notepad bring extra resumes and have your references listed Also

have a list of questions for the employer that you might want to ask

Summary

Most importantly is to know yourself ndash volunteer relevant information about you Be

able to present your experiences strengths education skills work style and goals Be

able to supplement all your answers with examples that support the statements you

make

28


How to Develop Good Interviewing Skills

To develop good competency interview skills you first need to read all you can about

what skills make a good interview There are plenty of articles on the internet that can

help you to identify these skills

Dress Appropriately

Dress in professional business clothes for an interview unless told otherwise If they tell

you to dress in a casual business style you can probably dress down a little but not too

much Your interview attire should always look fresh clean and well pressed Having a

neat appearance together with good personal hygiene go a long way to helping with the

all-important first impression For both males and females avoid wearing lots of

colognes or perfumes the person who conducts your interview could have allergies to

heavy scents or colognes and it could bring to mind unhappy memories or of a person

they did not get along with sometime during their life

Be On-time

Try to be 5 or even 10 minutes early just to be on the safe side Check out ahead of time

exactly where you are going and how much time it will take you to get there A day or

two before your interview travel or drive the route at the same time as your interview in

order to see what the normal traffic is like For backup in case something happens with

your car confirm how often and when the buses run

29


Shine your personality

Let your personality and positive attitude shine If you are excited about this job donrsquot

be hesitant to show it Employers want employees who are passionate about the work

they do Be yourself but remember to keep it professional at all times

Be confident

Being nervous in an interview is quite normal but donrsquot let your nerves overpower the

interview itself Be calm speak clearly and make eye contact as these are all ways to

show your confidence

Be Professional

During the interview relax and sit naturally but do not slouch in your chair and never

lean on the interviewerrsquos desk Donrsquot chew gum while at the interview and do not fidget

with hair or with jewellery Just be calm cool and collected

The interview should start with a smile and a handshake that is firm Remember that

this is your first introduction to this company so be polite to everyone you meet And

turn your cell phone off or better yet ndash lock it in the car

Listen Before Speaking

If you donrsquot understand a question after listening carefully to the interviewer or if you

have questions donrsquot hesitate to ask for further clarification However do this only

after listening carefully to the whole question and do not interrupt in the middle of an

interviewerrsquos question

30


When answering the questions let the interviewer see what you will have to offer their

company Talk about any past accomplishments or experiences without bragging and

tie those times into how they might help you contribute to their company

Although you want to be honest and open in your interview avoid speaking about your

financial or personal problems

No Lingering

Leave as quickly as possible after the interview is finished making certain you do not

linger Shake the interviewerrsquos hand again briefly restate how interested you are in

working for their company and thank them for taking the time to interview you

31


Things to DoNot to Do During an Interview

Most of these are lsquono-brainersrsquo but letrsquos go over them anyway You would think that

most of these simple rules and guidelines are known by mostly everyone ndash but you

would be wrong

Things Not To Do

Donrsquot come to any interview if you have not had a bathshower or brushed your

teeth There are individuals who do and it generally is noticeable to almost

everyone

Donrsquot ever be late for an interview Have a back-up plan for everything that

could happen

Donrsquot go into an interview and not know what the company does and what your

position with the company would be responsible for

Donrsquot chew gum during an interview

Dont have a clammy or limp handshake

Dont smoke and dont smoke before the interview You will smell like smoke

Donrsquot interrupt the interviewer

Dont ask about salary bonuses

vacations retirement or any other

benefits until after you have actually

received an offer Be ready for a

question about your salary needs

but do try to postpone salary

discussion of any type until you have

an offer

32


Donrsquot bring up any problems with personal or family issues

Donrsquot bring up any negative comments about former bosses former colleagues

or former companies

Things to Do

Do make a practice drive to the company site where you are going to the

interview Or make sure you know where the office is and how long it will take

you to get there

Do research and know about the job position that you are interviewing for as this

will help you know questions that might be asked In addition do prepare and

practice for the interview but donrsquot over-rehearse your answers

Do plan to get to the office where you are interviewing about 10 minutes early

There is really no excuse for being late But if you are running late do phone the

company and let them know as soon as possible

Do treat everyone with respect and courtesy Your first impression with these

people in some cases will be the only thing they may remember you by

Do fill out a job application if you are given one and make it accurate complete

and as neat as possible

Do show enthusiasm in the company and the

position

Do bring extra resumes ndash better yet if you prepared a

job-skills portfolio bring it with you to the interview

Do keep good eye contact with the interviewer or

interviewers

Do show what you can do for the company rather than what the company can do

for you

33


Do leave your cell phone locked in your car There is nothing so important that it

cannot wait until your interview is over

Do have a high energy and confidence level but donrsquot be overly aggressive

Do avoid topics that are controversial areas of conversation

Do show off the research you have done on the company and the industry when

responding to questions

Do conduct yourself as if you are confident in getting the job you are discussing

Never close the door on any opportunity unless you are sure about it

There are certain things that you can do in an interview and it will help the interviewer

remember you If you do these things and do them well ndash the person who interviewed

you will have a superb first impression

Have a Great Pitch

A good pitch is an overview of yourself that you are able to give in about 30 to 60

seconds and it is who you are and what you are able to do for this company that you are

interviewing for You can lsquoGooglersquo a good template for a pitch Take the template and

make it your own Make certain that it is genuine and it goes with the interview Having

something in the pitch that is unique about yourself often sets you apart from all the

others

Enthusiasm

Show enthusiasm during the

interview since only the top 10 to 20

percent of candidates do Make

certain that the interviewer knows just

how excited you are to be there and

are happy to talk about your

experience skill set or any other

34


capabilities and how you can bring these skills to their company Also be enthusiastic

about the job that you will be placed in and what a good fit you are for that position

Due Diligence

Another way to impress is by doing due diligence or research on the company This

work beforehand will significantly lower your level of stress enabling you to perform

better Think about your weaknesses as well as your strengths and have examples of

each This shows that you are self-aware articulate and mature when discussing topics

that are more challenging Remember in the process of an interview previous

performance is strongly believed to be a sign of performance in the future so make that

first impression strong and you will hopefully have the edge over most other candidates

Generally there will be no one who will know how to answer every single question within

an interview but you need to be able to think on your feet and fashion the best answer

from what you do know Donrsquot make stuff up if you donrsquot have a clue Innovatively

discuss and appraise how you did something that was possibly only slightly different

but can still demonstrate how you work If you need to pause to think about a response

do so That shows maturity composure and intelligence

Perseverance

Perseverance in business is vital You are not always going to win the customer make a

trade that is profitable or successfully manage your budget

Stay constant and tenacious striving to raise the status-quo

It pays off in the end In addition do not be afraid to ask

questions and get feedback when things do not go well We

learn a lot when things donrsquot work out so donrsquot let this

opportunity pass you by

There are other abilities that will help you have a great interview and the interviewer

will remember you Practice your pitch practice going over your weaknesses and

strengths (make sure your weaknesses are not critical to the job) Practice focusing on

35


the question and answer it directly as many candidates can ramble off on totally

opposing paths These qualities will all work well for you

Before the interview is over be sure to get a business card from everyone who

interviewed you This will have their e-mail address so that you can e-mail a lsquothank yoursquo

note as soon as you get home

If you sent a thank you note after the interview you will be remembered since so many

applicants for a job can omit this last step

When to Follow-up on the Telephone

You do not want to be viewed as a pest but most employers will be impressed with a job

applicant who follows up the interview with a phone call Many job applicants are not as

assertive as they need to be in staying in touch with the employer after an interview

Here are a few tips to help you improve results when you follow up by phone calls

bull Ask before the interview is over when would be a good time to make a follow up

call Note that time on your schedule so you do not forget

bull Call back when you said you would ndash at the time that the

interviewer told you was a good time By that time he or she will

have gotten your lsquothank yoursquo e-mail and note This will have

probably already created a good impression as will your call back

phone call

bull If there is an opening then simply ask for the job Most applicants never simply

ask for the position Let the interviewer know why you want the job and why you believe

that their company is a good fit for you and your skills

bull Donrsquot be afraid call back on a consistent basis If the manager you meet with

does not have an opening right now ask them if you can stay in touch Make it very

evident that you would like on a regular basis to check how things are developing This

type of contact will keep you in mind and when positions open up that match your skills

36


these managers are much more likely to think of you and contemplate hiring you before

they even advertise the position elsewhere But this only happens if you keep in touch

on a basis that is regular

bull Every time you contact employers be certain to ask whether they know of

someone else who might have a position open for a person within your skill set If not

ask whether they may give your name to others to contact in order to see if they have

openings

bull After every interview jot down important items from the interview to help you

plan your follow-up and start by writing a thank you note

bull It does not matter whether the thank you note is regular mail or e-mail as long as

they are friendly and are an effective way to show your good manners in creating a

positive impression in the employers mind It is said that only about 30 of applicants

follow up with a thank you note

bull In certain situations you might want to send a follow-up letter to give the

manager further information present them with a suggestion or clear up any concerns

that might have come up during the interview

bull Keeping in touch with an employer or manager by phone is also a good way to not

only ask about the job you want but to learn

about any future openings as well as getting

referrals to other potential employers Itrsquos a

great way to network If you want a position

and you have the skills you sometimes have to

do follow-ups that you might not like doing

Experts often say these tips will work

Conclusion

Help in Staying Positive When Looking For a Job

With the current negative economy and unemployment rate it is understandable if a

person gets somewhat down in the dumps when looking for a job It was probably much

easier for you in the past when jobs were easier to find In fact this might be the first

time that you have had any trouble finding a job However you cannot let this make you

depressed as getting down can only make the job hunting process seem even harder

Losing a Job is Stressful

Itrsquos common to feel hurt vulnerability and angry following the loss of any job The way

to look at this is that in spite of the stress of a job loss and unemployment there are

numerous things you are able to do to take control over this state and keep your spirits

up You can get over this tough period by taking care of yourself first taking the time to

rethink your goals for your career reaching out to others and rediscover what really

makes you smile

Our jobs or work are much more than merely a way

we make money They also are how we define

ourselves as well as the way others see us Our jobs

give us purpose structure and meaning This is why

a job loss and unemployment is one of the more

stressful periods a person can go through

Beyond the loss of income losing a job also comes

with other main losses some of which may be even more difficult to face loss of your

daily routine loss of professional identity loss of self-confidence and self-esteem loss

of work-based social networks loss of persistent activity and loss with a sense of

security

38


Grief

Grief is a normal reaction to any sort of loss and that can certainly include a job loss

Losing your job forces you to make alterations rapidly You may still be angry panic-

stricken hurt scared and rejected but you need to comprehend that these emotions are

all normal You have every right to feel the way you do and to be upset accept these

feelings and be easy on yourself

Also try to remember that many if not all successful individuals have had a major loss

or failure in their careers But these individuals turned those disappointments around

by getting up learning what they can from the experience and trying to turn the

resulting situation into a positive outcome When things that are bad happen to you

you will grow more resilient and stronger while you are in the process of overcoming

them

Here is a list of tips to help you remain positive

1 Keep a regular routine daily Donrsquot get into the habit

of watching TV all night and sleeping all day ndash stay

with the routine that you had when you were working

2 When you donrsquot have anything to do ndash volunteer

Whether it is at your church or the animal shelter do something to keep you busy

and motivated

3 Think positive ndash donrsquot dwell on the negative You might not believe it but there

are a whole lot of people currently in your situation

4 Support Group ndash look for a support group of likeminded individuals who have

the same hobbies and are in the same boat as you

5 Network ndash get in touch with every phone number in your address book and let

them know that you are looking for a job Who knows what might turn up
